Doc Rivers On LeBron James: He’s One Of The Smartest People To Ever Play Basketball

Lakers superstar LeBron James was really great this weekend. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers. The King was dominant on the court. Doc Rivers couldn’t hide his admiration for the great LeBron James and his basketball mind. The Lakers celebrated a brilliant 112-103 win over the Clippers, and Rivers was impressed.

He had nothing but words of praise for King James following the Los Angeles win. LeBron finished the game with 28 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds for the Purple and Gold. This was his first victory of the season against the Clippers.

Rivers discussed LeBron’s greatness during the post-game press conference. According to him, many players have LeBron’s body, but nobody has his brain.

“He’s one of the smartest people to ever play basketball. He’s beating a lot of people with his brain… His brain is what makes him great. There’s a lot of people in the league with LeBron’s body. There’s no one in the league with his brain.”

Doc Rivers praises LeBron James and his basketball mind

Rivers is absolutely right. LeBron has an incredible IQ, and that’s what makes him so special. Many players admire him. Many would love to have his talent and impeccable skills. LeBron is the best mentor a player can ever have. He has an incredible ability to make his teammates better players. LeBron suffered a serious injury last season and this stopped his teammates from building chemistry.

This season, Lakers players have built perfect relationship on the court. They have one mission, and LeBron is its leader. He will lead his team to the NBA Playoffs this season. That will put an end to the drought. LA hasn’t won a title since late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. This gives players enough motivation for the upcoming playoff run. LeBron promised his most loyal fans to win a title, and it looks like he will keep that promise.

For most analysts, LeBron is the greatest of all time. The greatest basketball minds believe that LeBron is the best to ever play the game. Hopefully, he will stay healthy and finish the season with a title. LA has a tough challenge to accept, and the clock is ticking.
